Surgery/Injection: There are many options to try to deal with this difficult problem that has a high recurrence rate. Injections with steroids, surgical excision or radiation therapy are some of the options. Talk with a plastic surgeon in your area to try to figure out a treatment plan for your specific concerns.

Surgical excision : Surgical excision followed by immediate postoperative radiation prevents the recurrence of keloids. Intralesional steroids may also be effective in preventing the keloid growth.
